The Setting

The Caversham Mill Restaurant is situated on the banks of the Lions River, overlooking a waterfall. When the river is in full flow, the noise of the water rushing by is immense. The estate is a paradise for birdwatchers and it is often possible to watch a Kingfisher bird hunting while sitting on the deck of the restaurant.  Or in summer, enjoy watching Yellowfish trying to jump the waterfall while you sip red wine and eat a superb meal. The Caversham Mill Restaurant is the “Cradle of the Meander” as it was in 1984, on this premises, that the idea for the Midlands Meander was born and became a reality. Caversham Mill Restaurant is thus situated in the heart of the Midlands Meander, which is packed with arts and craft shops offering a large variety of beautiful hand-made goods. Access to the Caversham Mill Restaurant is so easy - 15 minutes from Howick, 30 minutes from Pietermaritzburg, and only 10 minutes off the N3.
